What are small red skin bumps from?

The day I noticed that I had tiny little red bumps all over my skin (cherry angiomas) is etched in my memory. I thought to myself “This is gross and concerning at the same time. I am pretty sure these are something my grandfather had and they are everywhere…..why????”

Of course I went down the rabbit hole of trying to find out what they could be from, since I personally don't let “genetics” be an excuse for much of anything.

The conclusion? Blood sugar imbalances, NAFLD / liver sluggishness, or possibly mold toxicity. Well dang. 

So not only was my healthy eating and lifestyle seemingly not working, now I was worrying about my liver and the damage that was happening from possible mycotoxins. Awesome.

Fast forward a few months, I was gearing up for knee surgery. My mind was on a swift recovery and figuring out my next moves for detoxing/liver support.

Enter KETOSIS, what I call the “Swiss army knife of dietary approaches.”

It hit me that by getting into ketosis I could address all of my issues without taking a ton of supplements or going on an extreme cleanse. I just had to adjust my diet.

How is this possible? 

 In ketosis, when your body is burning fat as fuel and using ketones for energy, some pretty magical things happen:

1. Autophagy increases (this is how the body cleans itself up, the “bad” cells eat themselves, literally!!)

2. Inflammation and blood sugar levels decrease

3. The liver is freed up to detox more! (it no longer has to constantly regulate your blood sugar and has more mitochondrial energy to detox)

4. Water is moved out of the body more efficiently, helping open up drainage pathways for more efficient detoxing.

YAAAS! The body has a self-healing, self-cleaning, reverse aging potential that is built in. Not 👏🏻 even👏🏻  kidding👏🏻. 

So now that I have been doing ketosis with carb cycling, I am happy to report that my cherry angiomas are 75% gone!! I give the credit to my commitment to ketosis and fasting. 

Ketosis allows cells to self-dissolve things like moles, angiomas, milia, skin tags & more
